To (lie I.ny Ml ml It tVonliI Alipear m TIhiurIi Thin Kcimuru of Spnce Were the Ablllt) lo UUnpticnr Through Stoun 'Wr.llN, Suppose n world consisting of n boundless Unt piano tor bo Inhabited by reasoning beings who tan move nboul at pleasure on tho plane, but aio not able to turn their bends up or down or even to see or hlnk of sucli ternia as nbovo them nnd below them, and things mound them can be push ed or pulled about In any direction, but cannot bo lifted from the plnne. Peo ple nnd things can pass around each other, but cannot u'op over nnythlng. These dwcllerri In "tlatland" could con struct n plnne geometry which would he exactly like ours In being based on tho axioms of Undid, ..Two pmallel straight lines would uewr meet, though continued indefinitely. Hut suppose that the surface on which these beings live, instead of be ing nn liitlultely extended plnno, Js leally the Livfaec of an Immense globo Ilko tho earth on which wo live. It needs no knowledge of geometry, but only nn ccnmbiatlon of any globular object an apple, for example to show that If we diaw a line as straight as possible on a sphero and parallel to it diaw a small pleco of a second line, nnd continue this in no straight a lino as wo can, the two lines will meet when wo proceed In either direction one-qusiter of tho way around tho i phei e. Por our "tUtlnud" people these lines woalJ both bo perfectly straight because tho only curvature would bo In the direction downward, which thoy could uewr either perceive or dlscowr. To explain hjpergeoiuctry pioper wo must llrst set f oi t h what n fouitli dl uienslon of space means and show how natural the way by which It may bo approached. We continue our analo gy from "il.itlnnd." In this supposed land let us make a ciosn two straight lines lutcisecting nt rltfht nngles, Tho Inhabitants of this laud understand tho cross peitectly nnd concolw of it Just as wo do. Hut let us nslc them to draw a third line intersecting tho snmo point mid pcipcudlcuhtr to both tho other Hues, They would nt oneo pro nounce this absurd and impossible. It is equally nhsuid mid Impossible to us if wu reqtilro the third line to bo drnwn on tho paper. Hut we would ie ply, "If j mi allow us to lenvo tho paper or flat surface, then wo can solvo the problem by simply din wing tho third line through tho pnpor perpendlculnr to Its surface." Now, to pursue tho analogy, suppose that after wo have drawn threo mutu ally perpendlculnr lines somo being from nnother sphero proposes to us tho drnwlng of a fourth lino through tho samo point perpendlculnr to nil three of the Hues already there. Wo should answer hliu In tho saiuo wny that the inhabitants of "flatlnnd" answered us,: "Tho piohlcin Is Impossible. You can not draw any such lino In space ns wo understand It." If our visitor eoucehed of tho fourth dimension, ho would re ply to us as wo replied to the "flat land" people: "Tho problem Is absurd and impossible if you conilne your line to space ns you understand it. Hut for mo thcro is a fourth dimension in bpnee. Draw your line through that di mension, nnd the problem will be solv ed. This is perfectly simple to mo; It is inipossibio to you solely because your conceptions do not ndmlt of more than three dimensions." Supposing tho inhabitants of "flats laud" to ho intellectual beings ns wo are, it would bo interesting to them to bo told what dweller? of space In tjirqo becanio a jest at couit. Tills led II nnJly to n continued teasing of tlio 1'ilncess Jutta, which finally caused her to lose her temper and her head apd sho told tho seciet ot her loo for the luck-pig. The golden poiker was stuffed with gjhl and notes, a vol Itablo bulwark ngalnst tlio existing conditions at tlio Court of Montenegio. Thph tho people of Montenegro un derstood. They had always legauleU the metal animal lis a luck bilngcr, but when the story was told they laughed merrily, and simply winked and e marked that the 1'ilncess Jutta "liould lmvo kept her seciet to herself. The licit day the luck-pig disappear ed. The day 'after 1'rinco Nicholas, who had been jionowhig heavily fiom his dimensions could do. Let us pursue tho nnplogy by showing what dwellers In four dimensions might do. Place n dweller of "tlatland" iix.Ido n circle drawn on ills piano and ask hliu to step outside of It without breaking tluoush It. lie would go all nround, nnd, finding every Inch of it closed, he would say it was lmposslblo from the a cry naturo of the conditions. "Hut," wo would reply, "that is becnuso of your limited conceptions. Wo can step over It." "Step over It!" ho would exclaim. "1 do not know what that means. I enn pnss around nnythlng if there is n wnv open, but I cannot Imagine what jou inpan by stepping over it." Hut we should simply step over tho line nnd reappear op tho other side. So if wo conllno n being nblo to moo in a fourth dimension In tho walls of a dungeou of which the sides, the floor and the ceiling were nil impenetrable ho would step outside of It without touching any part of the building Just as easily ns we could step owr n cir cle drnwn on the plane without touch ing It He would simply disappear from our ylew like a spirit and perhnps reappear tho next moment outside tho prison. To do this he would have to tunko n little excursion in the fourth dimension. Professor Simon Newcouib Id Harper's Mngnzlne. Ill Maiden Nome.
